Probably some tag to allow cats shot laser beams trough their eyes...

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?

Will you add Hemp/Cannabis as a crop from which you can make cloth and oil (which you also can in real life) in patch 4.20?

Nevermind, hemp is already in the game, sorry for my ignorance D;

This is also a suggestion.

It's also going to be 0.40.20.

Also, maybe 0.41.01? But I doubt that. I mean, I'm not saying it's not, but 0.40.20 seems more likely.

Toady, are building jobs like walls and floors now decoupled from the workshop jobs that used the same materials? Like, will I still need to have my manager restrict the masonry workshops so that all my wall-building grunts don't also build my chairs and tables, or is that gone?

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

That explains why the miners and cooks had masonry enabled when I got the save. :P

How does the new system treat military dwarves?

For example at the moment I have 2 haulers in a military squad who are not set to train & yet they simply ignore all hauling jobs in favour of indivual combat drill/resting.

I've noticed this in prior iterations of the game. I'm not aware if there was ever a priority split between Hauling and Individual Drill, but I mostly saw my inactive Military-cum-Haulers (stop snickering) mostly engaging in Individual Drill. The trick is to not assign them any barracks, at least during their inactive months. This must be done manually I'm afraid.

Edit: or are you asking if there'll be any change to this system? In which case please ignore!

Yeah I was basically hoping it's being changed in such a way that I'll no longer have to keep pulling part time military dwarves in and out of squads manually to get them to do their jobs. Farmers also seem to have a problem ever farming if they're in a military squad.

One thing I'd like to see is the carrying of provisions when doing certain jobs, i.e. flasks and backpacks are carried for jobs with a long path to follow, or in some dangerous cases some form of personal defense or protection such as helmets, daggers or wooden crossbows if available. Ropes that are used and anchored to rappel down vertical shafts if there is no stairs might also be a nice option.

Guess what bugs have been fixed (or at least checked off) for the next release? :D

Haulers carry (heavy) full bin to pickup single item (lighter) (Toady One) - resolved.
and
Conflict between hauling jobs (i.e. filling containers) and other jobs using items in those containers (Toady One) - resolved.

Sounds like he found a way to fix some of the inefficiencies with the current hauling system.

So right now I'm seeing that Inn's are probably going to be implemented pretty soon , did Toady say if he would implement / work on :

*Creatures singing at the Inns or at other social events?
*Creatures getting overly drunk and behaving like drunk people do?

Anyone know what the status on invaders use of siege engines is? Catapults and other wall breaking monstrosities?

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.
